Sherri+Roe


 * SUMMARY: "Sherri," age 20, died from abortion complications in 1975.**

"Sherri" was one of the women listed by Life Dynamics on the "Blackmun Wall" listing women killed by [|safe and legal abortion].

Sherri, who had a history of heart disease, was 20 years old and late in the second trimester of her pregnancy when she underwent an abortion in 1975.

Her physician injected a urea solution into her uterus, which was intended to poison the fetus and induce labor. Sherri expelled the fetus, but during the abortion [|amniotic fluid got into her bloodstream]. This triggered a clotting disorder that caused her death.
